Package: mpd
Version: 0.11.5-6
Severity: wishlist

The mpd daemon currently binds to (and listens on) all active network
interfaces by default.

It would be good from a security viewpoint to either include the line

        bind_to_address  "127.0.0.1"

in the default mpd.conf or to ask the user what interface they want
mpd to listen on when it is being configured
("any" being an option to allow the current behavior if desired).

Binding to only the localhost (127.0.0.1) interface by default is the
approach taken by many other daemons in Debian (such as CUPS).
